Pocket Musk

Pocket musk is a concentrated, alcohol-free perfume in a roll-on or a small 3 to 15 ml bottle, applied directly to the skin. Over seventy references here, from ADN Paris, El Nabil, Al-Rehab, Gris Montaigne, Lattafa, Note 33 and Hamidi.

How to use it

Apply the roller ball or a drop to the wrists, behind the ears or at the base of the neck, on clean, dry skin. Without alcohol, the material does not project: it stays close to the body and releases slowly with the warmth of the skin. Hence a wear that often outlasts an eau de toilette, for a deliberately discreet trail.

What changes compared with an eau de parfum

An eau de parfum is sprayed and noticed at a distance from the first minutes. A pocket musk is discovered up close. It copes better with long days, slips into a pocket or a bag, and can be reapplied in a second, with no smell of alcohol and no spray on clothing.

The ranges available

• Musk Tahara CPO 15 ml — Hamidi: concentrated white musk, one drop is enough. The safe choice.
• Musc Yara 10 ml — Lattafa: fruity floral, as a perfume oil.
• Royal Gold 5 ml — El Nabil: the roll-on version of the house's most worn eau de parfum, jasmine, rose and vanilla on a musky base.
• Lovely 3 ml — Al-Rehab: the most economical format to try.
